Not surprisingly for a man who made his name replacing players during games with incredible success, the former Manchester United striker is now increasingly the name most fans would like to take over their clubs when a manager departs. Sir Alex Ferguson obviously saw something in his retiring lucky charm and having worked with United’s reserves, Solskjaer has enjoyed a wonderful two years as Molde’s head coach in his native Norway. Two league titles and a domestic cup speak volumes for a man who, having already turned down the Aston Villa job, is much in demand in the country where he enjoyed such glorious success as a player. It is surely a matter of time before he goes from super-sub to super-coach.
